Occupied territories, another night of anti-Netanyahu protests


Tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets again against Benjamin Netanyahu's disputed far-right willed Justice reform to put the Supreme Court under the control of the executive: this time the contestation was particularly tough, with roadblocks and clashes with the police.

In Tel Aviv in the evening, hundreds of people gathered in front of the hairdresser where the wife of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was, Sara di lei: contesting her and blocking her inside the shop. The wife of the Zionist prime minister, according to public television, rejected the opinion of her bodyguards who advised her to leave the premises immediately. Meanwhile, the crowd in front of the hall swelled and continued to shout hostile slogans: "shame, shame". This led the police to deploy a heavy vehicle at the entrance and set up a thick cordon of officers.

Even in al-Quds (occupied Jerusalem) hundreds of demonstrators marched towards the premier's residence before being blocked by the police. Some demonstrators yelled at the officers "Where were you in Huwara?", criticizing the lack of action against the settlers who attacked the Palestinian city south of Nablus on Sunday, marking the difference with the hard fist used against opposition demonstrators.
